WWE Evolution 2025 is on the horizon. The show is set for Sunday, July 13 from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. With less than two weeks to build the show, there are growing rumors about WWE Legends being involved. One such name is Trish Stratus, and WWE should make sure she has a featured match on the card.
Fightful Select reported on June 29 that WWE is attempting to bring Trish Status in for the show. According to sources, Fightful was informed that there’s “interest in Trish Stratus appearing and competing on the WWE Evolution show. However, they claimed that nothing was locked in as of the [Night of Champions] weekend.”
Stratus must be involved with this show. She remains one of the biggest stars in that division, even though she competes sporadically throughout the year. She last appeared at Elimination Chamber back in March, which hailed from her “hometown” of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She received a strong reaction there and has continued to in recent years.
Evolution 2025 needs all the help it can get to have an impact on what is set to be a packed weekend of wrestling. WWE counterprogrammed against AEW All-In, which is set for July 12. There are two shows on that day, and Evolution closes the weekend on Sunday. With so much wrestling set to happen, there’s a strong opportunity that a large contingent of viewers may be willing to miss Evolution that Sunday night. Bringing in a big name like Stratus and others would help increase the appeal of the show.
Trish Stratus would have an important impact on Evolution 2025
Trish Stratus is an important part of the WWE women’s roster, and this show needs her. First, Liv Morgan’s injury reportedly created a big shift in plans for the PLE. Stratus’ name and stature can help alleviate some of the void left by Morgan now that she’s on the shelf. She can quickly be added to singles or tag team matches to build out the show.
For example, imagine a match between Trish Stratus and the new WWE Women’s United States Champion, Giulia. Or what about a match with one of WWE’s quickly growing names, Roxanne Perez? Both of those would be interesting matchups for the show. WWE could even go further by featuring her in NXT, giving that young roster some time with one of the biggest names to ever perform in women’s wrestling.
No one should be shocked that WWE is attempting to include Trish Stratus in Evolution 2025. She’s an icon in professional wrestling and one who should have a place on the show for all the contributions she’s given to the industry. There are several ways she can help with the card. WWE Evolution 2025 needs Trish Stratus.
